Matthew 6:9-13
“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from the evil one.

 Reflection
In the prayer that Jesus taught us we pray, “Your Kingdom come.” This can only be done when we continue to seek the presence of God in Jesus Christ.  The author Wayne
Cordeiro explains that the church must focus on this by “painting a church’s atmosphere with the colors of heaven.” How do you think this can align a church’s heart with heaven? And what might this look like?
